Brileigh has worked in boarding school admissions for the last decade. A graduate of the McDonogh School, an independent boarding school, Brileigh's love for admissions started as a high school tour guide, which she continued through her time at Union College. After graduating, she began her career at the Ross School in East Hampton, N.Y., where she focused on international recruitment and was a dorm parent.

Since then, Brileigh has attended numerous international and domestic recruiting events, earned her certificate for admissions and enrollment professionals through the Association of Independent School Admission Professionals, recently completed her certificate in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from Cornell University, and received her Master's degree in Communication and Marketing from Johns Hopkins University. Before coming to Episcopal, Brileigh served as the associate director of admissions at Foxcroft School, where she was also a dorm parent and advisor.
